According to Davis, there is no textual justification
for including Aldebaran within the scope of "the watcher
of the southern sky". Rather, he concludes that
Sirius
alone is the Eastern Quadrant Watcher.

Applies to nakshatra of radical lagna AND nakshatra
of Chandra. For emotional relationships,
nakshatra of Chandra is more influential on compatibility and
ease of interaction.

Psycho-socially compatible
with Krittika * Pleyades

Nakshatra of
Surya
* center-stage, sparklingly exceptional, brightly self-reflexive. These
splendorous pairs bask in the glowing center of attention. They are
often found in political, entertainment, gambling, creative, and
celebrity environments.

Nakshatra of
Chandra*
matrikaraka caretaking Chandra's rhythmic, parenting, routinized style
provides a companionable balance to pitrikaraka visionary Surya's
confident, outgoing energy. These pairs can thrive as parents following a
traditional division of labor. As a couple, the Chandra personality takes
the homefront while the Surya mate manages their public affairs.

Nakshatra of
Mangala * Kuja and
Surya are mutual mitra-graha =
best friends joined in a quest to energize the cosmos. Mangala leads the
conquest of new worlds and Surya shines the bright light of divinity.

Nakshatra of Budha *
mercantile, conversational, collaborative. Budha likes Surya more than Surya
likes Budha, but this pair is generally neutral and there is no serious
impedance to their interactions. In relationships, Surya takes a more
decisive role whereas Budha acts more like a interpreter, teammate, or
sibling.

Tendency to self-interrupt the balance-seeking harmony
of Zukra with brilliant flashes of individual
intelligence, independent opinion, celebrity, fashion
and romance.

Krittika women are often strikingly
intellectual (Surya) and rather prone to
outbursts of incisively critical
thinking. They thrive in the politico-theatrical environment.

As the famed Hollywood dramatist Katherine Hepburn
(never married, much romanced) publically said: "If you
want to sacrifice the admiration of many men for the
criticism of one, go ahead, get married."

Krittika wives are often very bright and typically
brighter than their husbands. Many a Krittika woman has shaped the career of the political men (Surya) in her life.
Krittika women resemble their fathers.

Depending on the
patron of the 10th navamsha,
the career role might be defined as detailed costume and
makeup artist (Kanya) dancer (Mesha) dance instructor
for the film cast (Mithuna) or the glamorous
leading-lady songstress (Vrishabha) - and many more
options. All are expressions of Krittika affinity for bright lights and
the brilliant personal aura that characterizes the independent and queenly Krittika
woman.

Glitterati * Courtly Fashions *
Celebrity Roles

Thrive in the glow of public attention . Royal Surya favors the top courtly fashions no matter rank or salary. Even the lowest paid Krittika hair-stylist
may be driving an expensive celebrity-style car and even the 60-something Krittika will
wear the latest elegant fashion. If thin is in, she is thin. When voluptuous is the courtly standard, she strives for curves.

Not usually
satisfied simply by wifely roles in marriage due to their brilliantly solipsistic, independent point of view.
Typically a career woman seeking a dramatic expression. If her personal intelligence is suppressed by political managers, her face develops a glassy-eyed stare.
Like Uttara-phalguni and Uttara-azadha women, the
Krittika woman seeks center-stage recognition.

The portion of Krittika Nakshatra which occupies Vrishabha rashi is somewhat easier for
Feminine Nativities. Yet even in the Vrishabha portion, the natural animosity between Zukra and Surya creates a difficult psycho-emotional environment for most women.

Women can also be very successful in public life with Krittika placements. For example, the former mayor of San Francisco and very influential USA Senator Dianne Feinstein .

For women, it helps to acknowledge that their path may be long and difficult, demanding constant interaction with self-important men, and feeling frustrated with the deficiency of harmony-seeking energy within the predominantly male communities within which a Surya-ruled Krittika female will live and work. Senator Feinstein, as an example of this success, developed tremendous skill in dealing with self-aggrandizing male politicians, and she also enjoyed the lifelong support of Surya characters such as her father, her husband, and her son.

Similarly very effective in political criticism. Skilled at cutting jobs such a butchering, but not so easy in interpersonal relationships where criticism is not very helpful. (Chandra in Krittika may have a habit of butchering their intimate relationships.)

Good in the job, loves the attention given to a high performance career, wants to be in the limelight.

Very happy and productive when the nourishing attention and applause is provided; cranky and dissatisfied in environments wherein their bright light cannot shine.

Likes high heat, cooking, and theatre. Often a very sexual person, not at the animal level but in their need to call attention to their divine body.

Admires the father, despite the public reality that the father may have some serious flaws regarding an ego-membrane disorder.

Acts with political and theatrical genius. Enormously self-confident and proud. A winner; first-arriver;
a pioneer. Often a politician with military or athletic qualities. If Surya is strong, may be a brilliant entertainer with royal entitlements and sparkle. Charisma manifests according to natal characteristics of Surya.

Krittika pada 2-3-4 = the family's financial
well-being is promoted
via power of both the father and the native.
Confident acquisition of properties; deeply patriotic; often a local
mercantilist and landowner.

Keeps and conserves the royal entitlements of an ethnic or cultural people. Often an owner of lands and vehicles, a cultivator, and a defender of political rights. Father often a land-owner. Rights and powers manifest according to natal characteristics of Surya.

Vrishabha-pada-2-3-4 express the tension between two-party bargainer
Zukra versus one-party autocratic singular nakshatrapathi Surya. Often the intelligence of pada 2-3-4 is focused into the Values-fulfilling sectors of uniquely central, creative roles as
independent evaluators within the
artistic and financial worlds, in the
music industry, dealing with wines and perfumes, and all aspects of
beauty. Depending on
Yogakaraka Shani ruler
of 9+10, the Vrishabha pada of Krittika have a stronger propensity
toward organizational leadership positions.

Themes of valuation,
individual intelligence, creativity, and confidence may contextualize
Krittika's
terrestrial experience. Applies also to Chandra in Krittika

resource conservation, music, wines and perfumes, arts, and beauty.

regal, politicized, flamboyant patriotism; defense of the land
and its customs. Fatherland , entitlement to independent property ownership, rights and roots of citizens, things beneath the land, burial, Natural Resources and landed properties , foundations,
schools and housing ocean ports, boundary protection;
ethnicity; lifestyle customs of the people who are settled there.

Krittika-4 teeth.
